The Intertek LQS (Lubricant Quality Scan) programme provides oil condition monitoring information to help maintain costly ship engines and equipment. LQS is
suitable for a wide range of industries. Regular use of LQS provides the back-up documentation to improve the intervals between periodical inspection. In some cases it may even influence a decision to extend the time between classification surveys, invaluable for machinery not amenable to normal dismantling and inspection procedures.
From routine analysis through to detailed consultancy and failure investigations, LQS can help you maintain your machinery intelligently. Many of the world's leading companies entrust their oil and grease analysis to LQS.

| Lubricant Quality Scanning service provides:
- Independent and Impartial Specialist
- Worldwide Coverage
- Marine Centred
LQS is an independent laboratory services, free from commercial bias. The LQS machinery oil analysis and condition monitoring service provides a rating and detailed comments for both lubricant condition and machinery health.
Regular use of the LQS service produces good accurate trend data, allowing marine engineers to minimise invasive work, reduce maintenance costs and prevent costly, premature machinery overhauls and oil changes to the ship's engines and drive-train.
LQS provides fast, impartial, accurate analysis using trained, professional laboratory staff. Crucial interpretation of the test results are carried out by experienced marine, mechanical and lubrication engineers. Guidance is provided on a case-by-case basis, providing advance warning of potential problems. If any abnormality is highlighted during the course of the analysis (e.g. high wear metals) additional ferrography and SEM analysis can be provided to determine the cause of the wear.
